Chapter 564 I Just Don't Want To
The sea tribe had been in seclusion for over a hundred years, and their royal court had fallen apart. It wasn't until Shia awakened her mermaid royal bloodline that she was able to gather the rest of her tribe.
Among these mermaid royalty are powerful figures like Audrey and Debbie, and most of them are Shia's elders. Therefore, these sea creatures are relatively free to act as they please. As long as they remain loyal to the sea creature royal court, Shia cannot treat them too harshly.
Since the death of the last sea emperor, the mermaid royal family has had no male bloodline. The secondary awakening of female mermaids has become extremely difficult. Even now, with the marriage alliance with the Great Elf Clan, only a single-digit number of ordinary royal bloodlines have been awakened. They will never be able to reach Shia's current level in their lifetime.
Therefore, the more talented a sea creature is, the more cautious they are when choosing their awakening partner. No one wants to settle for less; everyone wants to soar to great heights like Shia.
Qin Mo knew all of this, but when he saw these twenty beautiful sea creatures, he was still taken aback by their fiery and generous gazes.
At least a dozen stunning mermaids secretly expressed their affection for Qin Mo. Although their words and actions exuded elegance, the deep longing in their eyes seemed to want to devour Qin Mo whole.
Not even a trace was left!
"Shia, what's going on with them...?"
Qin Mo gracefully dealt with the natural advances of several elegant beauties, and took a moment to slip over to Xia's side and whisper in her ear to ask a question.
"You're still asking me? I've been following you for so long, and I didn't even know you were of elven royal blood!"
"I wasn't entirely sure about this before! Allen didn't tell me..." Qin Mo awkwardly touched her ear, somewhat helplessly.
Qin Mo was unaware of her mother Luna's identity from a young age. In addition, she lacked the pointed ears that were characteristic of the elves, and was somewhat self-conscious by nature, so she did not pursue the origin of her bloodline.
Qin Mo didn't think about it at all after he arrived. It wasn't until he came out of the Moon Palace and saw that Allen couldn't activate "Saint Seiya's Wrath" while he could that Allen vaguely revealed a bit of the truth.
"Ever since the Great Xia Dynasty revealed that you possess the blood of the Elven royal family, they have repeatedly asked my mother... for the future of our sea race..."
As Shia spoke, her voice filled with resentment. She kicked her little feet impatiently in the sand and muttered, "Anyway, I don't want to... I just don't want to!"
"I don't want to either! I'm a person of principle!" Qin Mo grumbled unhappily. One crazy Kaihime was enough to make him comfortable, and the rest—Shia, Heatherine, and the Empress Dowager—were all troublesome.
It's nice to light a fire for warmth in winter, but playing with fire in the sweltering summer is best avoided; a small body can't withstand so much dry firewood.
Xiao Xi Ya sniffed, her eyes welling up with tears, and her slender, fragrant shoulders nestled against Qin Mo, warm and sweet.
"Ahem! There are too many people, they're all watching!"
"It's for them to see, humph!"
Shia's behavior was somewhat childish, but of course, at her age, she was only just out of the childhood category among the sea creatures. Her elders did not show any dissatisfaction with her "food-protecting" behavior, and always had a gentle smile on their faces.
Qin Mo gathered his subordinates and, together with Xi Ya and others, went into the conference room to discuss the details of this cleanup operation.
"Your Highness...aren't all these women unmarried?"
"What, Erlang, are you tempted? The youngest of them is over a hundred years old!"
"Wow! I can't believe it! Do they still get married?"
With their wisdom and refinement at over a hundred years old, coupled with youthful looks, the beauties of the sea tribe possess a unique charm in every glance and smile. They captivated the hearts of the men present the moment they appeared. Qiao Erlang, unable to resist his brothers' encouragement, quietly approached Qin Mo and whispered to her that he had asked her questions on their behalf.
"Hehe! Trust me, Erlang, marrying them is a life-or-death risk!"
Qiao Erlang shrank back suddenly, startled, and returned to his seat embarrassedly, but he was still skeptical of Qin Mo's words.
Qin Mo wasn't trying to scare him. He knew how big the commotion was during the night of the Mermaid Royal Family's awakening. Back then, Audrey didn't know that his body had been tempered into something inhuman by Little Nirvana Flame, so she brought him tonics to save him as soon as it ended, which shows how dangerous it was.
These hundred-year-old sea race powerhouses are not like the young Shia who had just come of age. Otherwise, they wouldn't still be waiting until now without choosing an awakened partner. Where would they find so many powerful people to mess with? Old maids are not like young girls who would have to go on dating shows to get married.
"Please look at the map, everyone. The entire peninsula is more than 4,000 li long from north to south and more than 2,000 li wide from east to west. The area where the enemy is most likely to hide is about 1,000 li wide from east to west. If we want to conduct a comprehensive and thorough search, at least 30 squads need to maintain contact with each other and advance the search horizontally."
Qin Mo pulled out an enlarged map of the Arabian Peninsula and pointed at the desert and plateau areas where Tibetans might be, his expression no different from that of a Japanese colonel leading a sweep.
“Your Highness, we also organized 20,000 cavalry to search as you suggested, but if a team has fewer than 2,000 or 3,000 men, unless there are several sea race members in the team, those undead knights will easily defeat our warriors. The 30 small teams you mentioned... I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve.”
"Lady Heraly, according to His Majesty Shia, these undead knights are usually in groups of two or three hundred, is that right?"
